White (or Snowy) owl — on one hand, a bird of about 2.5 kg weight, on the other hand, a result of brutal musical experiences directed on creating a monster which will destroy the world. The monster appears to be viable and omnivorous, has received a name of Folk Core, lives in a hollow and wishes happiness to everyone.
This owl eats everything. She drags into her cozy warm hollow folk hamsters, rats from a punk dustbin, funk lemurs, thoughtful animals from reggae jungle that have already forgotten their names, metal bats, rigid but refined art-rock snails and alternative duck-bills. There is hardly a skeleton you will not find in her closet. Separate food supporters reproach the owl that it all together is too harmful for her stomach, too harmful to live - but all in vain. She eats and has never yet choked which is surprising…
Cheerful product of gene engineering, white rubbish with human eyes, sharp-clawed phantom mischievously dancing a plain bird's dance on a sinking drakkar mast - where have you come from at all?
No answer. How can she know where she came from? How can she know what will happen to her tomorrow? She lives because she loves living.

New album is recording - short video from studio - bass & guitar works
"White Owl" is a Russian folk-core group, created in Moscow, who play music of different nations adapted in various styles. Since the tastes of the musicians don't belong to the same genre their arrangements are mixtures of such traditions as alternative, indie, solid rock, folk tradition and even renaissance. The ways some folk standards such as "Lord of the Dance" or "Cunla" are presented can be taken for a joke. And this is true - it was a joke at first but then the WO found that the idea was well enough for taking it seriously.
Not all song at the new album, ‘Pepper’? are so funny such as "Lord of the Dance" or "Cunla". Everybody who read "The Treasure Island" can guess that "Fifteen men on a dead man..s chest" is a harsh pirate song arranged as a nowadays bandit song. A manner the musicians chose for "Personal Jah" is alike. It is not strictly a bandit song even on the contrary: it conveys how a new world can be created. All you need is not to be afraid of letting your crazy imagination free.
The album also contains a number of songs that don't belong to Celtic tradition - Finnish songs. It is a new brunch in a varicolored passage of folk-music life in Moscow. "Kannunkaataija" ("The Tippler") - a cheerful song about a funny drunkard; "Miksi Ne Neijot" (karelian song) can be translated as "Why do the maidens...?" One can try to guess what they do or why or attempt to study Finnish. And another song - "Korppi" ("The Raven") is a very beautiful and emotional song, as you understand about a raven.
"La Rotta" is an Italian instrumental composition that goes back to times before Renaissance. Rotta is a dance that one can find in cultures of different nations (French, Italian and even Moldavian). WO never follows the traditional performance, thus only a tune of an old original "La Rotta" is used and developed into a new dancing composition.
A little number of WO's own songs are plaid now. One can find only three of them at the album -"Just Chains", "Good Old Spider" and "Personal Jah" - that survived in a stream of traditional music and could stand the test of time.
